Neil Green is a comedian. Durbanites will fondly remember him from his time on East Coast Radio and comedy stages across the city, but Neil is a long way from Durban. Dublin, Ireland is where he lays his head now. Naturally, things are very different. We get into what inspired the move and just how hard it was to give up a flourishing career in South Africa to start from the bottom of the comedy ladder once again. We dig into the differences between comedy in Ireland and South Africa. Neil also shares the story behind his latest project, 'Educating Cade: A Rap Retrospective', a podcast for Neil's son that dives into his history with rap music. Enjoy.
